God was once approached by a scientist who said, “Listen God, we’ve decided we don’t need you anymore. These days we can clone people, transplant organs and do all sorts of things that used to be considered miraculous.”
God replied, “Don’t need me huh? How about we put your theory to the test. Why don’t we have a competition to see who can make a human being, say, a male human being.”
The scientist agrees, so God declares they should do it like he did in the good old days when he created Adam.
“Fine” says the scientist as he bends down to scoop up a handful of dirt.”
“Whoa!” says God, shaking his head in disapproval. “Not so fast. You get your own dirt.”

I love that one, but I am a sort of believer in the oneness of matter and mind, and occasionally matter manifests out from mind, and the details of the matter are those of projection, so the closer you look, the more detail you see, i.e. in the beginning, there was only awareness, and after incredibly much division and projection from that first, unified awareness, we finally have details like minds, bodies, and dust.

You still need the mind to come from somewhere.

The mind arises spontaneously out of what the universe is made of, an indescribable quantum flux that has potential for both mind and matter.
If you ask who or what made that, I'll invoke Occam's Razor and say it just always was.

I agree and disagree with what you're saying. Gotta love paradoxes.

I also have a great love of mystery. I am in fact officially what would be called a Christian Mystic, leaning to the Gnostic side.

That's one more step closer to full cloning. I think the last step, the artificial womb, will be the hardest but once that's overcome, we're going to see a lot of weird results from genetic tinkering.

Reminds of 3001 (I think that's the one where humans can genetically alter themselves to look like anything at all.
Hopefully, it will be beneficial - perhaps produce humans that are better adapted to the rigors of deep space for long voyages to other star systems.

Actually, I was remembering a movie where they had invented a mechanical womb and they ended up growing a monster which killed them all, poetic end huh? I can't remember which movie it was but the idea was pretty frightening. I figure that it will be very hard to create one but not impossible.

Like in the TV series Incorporated. You design your baby and then buy a gestator to avoid the hassles of pregnancy.

I Just posted this
Notice the first code listing has a 'PRE' in the middle of it, and not all of the code is formatted.
I've been putting PRE tags around my code, and removing all blank lines.
Anything else I'm doing wrong?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

It's not a bug or a suggestion. It's a question.

Yeah, but that's where you usually go for any site related questions.
Anyway, your code is a bit hard to read, but it seems like $ is undefined. Have you included jQuery on your page and are you sure it's loaded before your own JavaScript runs?

I don't know. Can we discuss on the Web forum? Explain what you mean over there please.

In that case, it goes here: QA[^]
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Just a little encoding in your code snippets. Change < to <, and so on
